Exclusive Images for Reverse Exorcism ‘Anything for Jackson’, Set to Premiere at Virtual Fantasia Fest

Anything for Jackson

As a horror fan, you’re surely well aware of the exorcism — that classic ritual that never seems to go well (but provides a lot of entertainment when scripted and on film). Now, flip it so you’re bringing a spirit into a person, and you’ve got some dangerous potential on your hands. In Anything for Jackson, that’s exactly what happens, and it sounds like it could be really freaking cool. 

The film’s synopsis:

After losing their only grandson in a car accident, grief-stricken Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Henry (Julian Richings), a doctor, kidnap his pregnant patient with the intentions of performing a “reverse Exorcism”, putting Jackson inside her unborn child. It doesn’t take long to figure out Jackson isn’t the only ghost the grandparents invited into their home. Now it’s a race against time for the couple, as well as the pregnant woman, to figure a way out of the haunting they’ve set upon themselves.

If your interest is piqued, allow me to tantalize with some exclusive new images and poster.

Directed by Justin G. Dyck and written by Keith Cooper, the film stars Sheila McCarthy (Die Hard 2, The Umbrella Academy), Julian Richings (Orphan Black, Supernatural), – both described by Fantasia as Canadian genre royalty – Konstantina Mantelos (A Christmas Crush), Josh Cruddas (Polar), and Yannick Bisson (Another Wolfcop, Murdoch Mysteries).

Anything for Jackson is produced by Bill Marks (Forsaken, Wolfcop), Christopher Giroux (I’ll Take Your Dead, Bite), Keith Cooper and Justin G. Dyck with executive producers Jesse Ikeman (A Perfect Plan, Survival of the Dead), Justin Rebelo (United We Fan, Room For Rent) & Audrey Cummings (She Never Died, Berkshire County).

If you’re curious to check this one out, Anything for Jackson will have its world premiere at the legendary Fantasia International Film Festival on September 1, 2020 at 7pm EST with an encore screening on September 2, 2020 at 3:15pm EST. Tickets are on sale now. And if you’re wondering how the heck a film festival is planning to run in the year of chaos that is 2020, the fest has gone virtual for its 24th year (running August 20 through to September 2).  

“I couldn’t be happier to have our film ‘Anything For Jackson’ premiere at Fantasia. To have a festival with such a stellar reputation, right here in Canada has always given me a feeling of pride,” said director Justin G. Dyck. “Now to actually be a part of that festival, is truly a dream come true. We made this film for fans, and this is where they look for the latest and greatest in genre films.”

A new Super Channel Fuse Original horror feature from Vortex Words + Pictures, Anything for Jackson is anticipated to premiere Fall 2020 on Super Channel Fuse in Canada. A71 Releasing controls the rest of the world rights on the movie.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
